Sorry, I'm a Scheme programmer, and Clojure does not appeal to me in enough aspects (very few, actually) to make me even learn how to use it. Rather, I think a very small number of simple conveniences would suffice to make Scheme programming very convenient with Acme. Already, most of the necessary features are there, and I am using Acme pleasantly right now in my daily Scheme work. Aaron W.
